What an excellent idea! :clap: Thanks for sharing the pic! I've just emailed the pic to my husband to "plant the seed" for a little building project for the upcoming Easter long weekend. Would you please confirm how it's held together - it appears to have each shelf double nailed at...

Gidday Tarren Good on you for jumping in to have a go at soap making. I regard myself as relatively new to the whole deal as well - been making now about 9 or 10 months or so. I stick with basic CP goats milk soap in cavity molds (unfragranced and uncoloured) and happy to say I'm now...

They look great! Almost fudge like! Well done! :thumbup:

Well done Siobhan :clap: You must be feeling pretty good about that! Let's hope it takes off for you!

Thanks for your response Lindy. Of the ingredients, goats milk was 75% with no water. Interestingly I found another goat milk lotion recipe on this forum. The recipe was not that unlike mine, except the goats milk and water together made up about 75%. So perhaps that's the clue - dilute it...

A few months ago a friend showed me how to make goats milk lotion using fresh goats milk. She generally makes scented ones, but I wanted to roll with non-fragrance and non-coloured - keeping as simple as possible. The first batch (a few months ago) seemed fine, then recently I made a couple...

Hi kp :wave: What about Cappriato? :idea: A sort of mix of caprine (being goat) and macchiato (my favourite coffee). Something a little bit left field??? :)

I started soaping about Easter time last year - when we got our first dairy goats. So far I've only made plain non-coloured goats milk soap, and have yet to venture to the coloured and fragranced ones. We knew that we were moving to acreage at some stage in the future, so I joined a goat...

Hello Aponi :wave: I am nowhere near as experienced as a lot of people on this forum, however I have made many batches of goats milk soap, and reckon I've found the trick with keeping the milk/lye as close to white as possible. Yes, I freeze the fresh goats milk (from our goats) - but in...

I'm in Queensland in Australia. Over the Christmas break, I made a couple of batches of uncoloured/unfragranced plain straight up and down goats milk soap, using milky way molds. As it happened, the days I soaped were quite warm and the mix took a bit longer to trace. Anyway, they set...

Thanks for the speedy response. :D I'll have a look and see how I go.

Your soaps look so good! :!: :!: Your stamp also works very well, and looks very professional, but friendly as well.. :) Could you please give me the link to the place where you had your stamp made? (My apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere on the forum)

Hi :wave: As I'm sticking to familiar territory of goats milk soap, and have yet to step outside the square and try colours, I think your 2 soaps look great. I particularly like the top one with the purple - the colours are vivid and the look is quite rustic - I think it's beautiful...

Lindy Congratulations! What an excellent story and outcome for you. And hey, such a sensational promotion for you as well. I am sure your business will go from strength to strength! Best get busy making some more soaps - those emails and orders will be flying in very soon! :)

Good Morning All To all the Australian soapers who might be reading this, is/are there any Australian websites you might recommend for various packaging methods for soaps? I am making cavity soaps of various shapes and sizes, so I thnk the little boxes might not work so well. Thanks

Jingz Relle... I am a bit thick. I didn't twig that you were from Australia as well when you mentioned suppliers etc. I've found a few online places already for moulds, and have found a local supplier for palm and coconut oil at good prices. At this stage, I'm making a very basic soap with...

Hello Judy, Hazel and Relle Thank you for your welcome. :) Currently have batch no. 5 on the go - hopefully more successful than batch no. 4. :roll: Gouldie

Hi Everyone I am very new to soap making and have only found your forum tonight. There seems to be a wealth of information here so I look forward to reading heaps, and asking questions when I'm still puzzled. We moved from suburbia to 44 acres only a few months ago, and part of our fun here...
